"... Every so often, a book that shouldn’t be winds up being a smash hit. Or, rather, becomes an unexpected success given that its subject matter is far from the celebrity/political biographies, heart-throbbing romances, heart-stopping crime/spy novels or fatuous self-help books that pretty much define p ..."

Important and dramatic changes are occurring in five broad areas of literacy: the movement toward universal literacy; the changing demands for literacy in the workplace; the creation of a global society; how languages are evolving; and the way literacy practices are becoming immersed in new technologies. Future literacy needs will demand a continual rethinking of the purposes of schooling in relation to society, and in particular, an ongoing critical analysis of the way in which access to societal resources change in response to changing conceptions of literacy. The traditional separations among disciplines of study and types of work are in question, implying the need for more integrated conceptions of literacy and literacy development. The globalization of trade, work, language, history, and politics is reconstituting and expanding conceptions of literacy. Literacy is changing along with changes in

As an institution, the university has a longer span of life than that of any of its individual members. It was there before most of its present members entered it, and will continue to be there after they leave it. This appearance of continuity masks the many changes taking place both in the internal structure of the university and in its relationship with its environment. My focus here will be on the changes taking place in the university both as a centre of learning and as a social institution. We understand what these changes portend for the future only if we take a longer-term view of them than is usually done in such discussions. I will not discuss about any university in particular but about universities in general, and will not confine to universities in India but also refer to universities in other

Freud’s monograph on the analysis of Little Hans is examined from a perspective aimed at highlighting elements of current thinking that would be considered mutative from those originally emphasized at the time it was written, and with a specific focus on the relative importance of verbal versus nonverbal interventions. F reud’s psychoanalytic theory of childhood sexual developmentinitially rested entirely on reconstructions from the analyses of adults, which made the analysis of little Hans’s phobia, as recorded by his father, enormously important to Freud. It provided him the oppor-tunity to offer direct observational support for his theories. Since that time, many authors (Lindon 1992; Silverman 2001; Rudnytsky 2002) have suggested that Freud neglected key elements in the case history (Rudnytsky 2002, p. 37) and thus missed the point of what was “really” wrong with Hans. In these papers, Hans is said to have been pre-occupied with anal functions, having been toilet trained too early and too harshly; to have been sexually overstimulated by his mother, who was “narcissistically vulnerable, grossly misattuned to his affective states... seductive, overstimulating, intrusive, controlling, [punitive] and threatening ” (Lindon 1992, p. 385); to have had a father who was himself preoccupied with anal functions and unavailable at critical moments in his life, leaving him at risk regarding the development of a core self- and gender identity (Lindon 1992, p. 384); and to have been at risk for “an ambivalently organized attachment ” (Silverman 2001, ja p
